a first

after beaching it up this afternoon with auntie kari, which was a perfect afternoon, we headed home.  but not without making a most important stop by the corner 7-11.  i tried to withhold some of my excitement of what i was about to introduce to the girls.

i said, "hey...want a treat girls?"

what are they supposed to say to that?  i mean, come on. 

"YEAH!!!!!!!"

so we entered the mini-mart and headed straight for the important section...slurpees!!!  they looked at the swirly motion of the slurpee machines mixing up our drinks.

"whoa" they said.

"yes" mama said.

so mama took the caffeinated option (barqs and coke mixture), while the bubbles were stoked to have their first cherry slurpee.  they slurped and slurped the whole way home.  sienna even became a little distraught that she ran out as we turned onto regents.  oh, so sad! (and yes, this means they were posing for mommy, with empty, well-loved slurpee cups)

there will be a next time girls, don't worry.
